Isn't the biggest skill of a sysadmin to solve problems that he has not seen before?
Learning all those answers to the questions wouldn't help you much in a real life scenario.
Instead of asking "what is/how do you do this?" it is better to give example scenarios and listen to what someone would do, to see how they approach the problem.
- Karlozkiller 10y agoBeing a hobby linux sysadmin myself I'd say you're right. The hard and often interesting part is to figure out why everything suddenly stopped working. sometimes I see the same problem several times and try to figure out how to stop it from happening again, most of the time though I see completely new problems. But it always helps to know your Linux system and how to hunt down error messages and log files. Buy then I'm no professional.
